The Chief Security Officer (CISO) at a multinational banking corporation is reviewing a plan to upgrade the entire corporate IT infrastructure. The architecture consists of a centralized cloud environment hosting the majority of data, small server clusters at each corporate location to handle the majority of customer transaction processing, ATMs, and a new mobile banking application accessible from smartphones, tablets, and the Internet via HTTP. The corporation does business having varying data retention and privacy laws. Which of the following technical modifications to the architecture and corresponding security controls should be implemented to provide the MOST complete protection of data?

A. Revoke exiting root certificates, re-issue new customer certificates, and ensure all transactions are digitally signed to minimize fraud, implement encryption for data in-transit
between data centersB. Ensure all data is encryption according to the most stringent regulatory guidance applicable, implement encryption for data in-transit between data centers, increase data availability
by replicating all data, transaction data, logs between each corporate locationC. Store customer data based on national borders, ensure end-to end encryption between ATMs, end users, and servers, test redundancy and COOP plans to ensure data is not
inadvertently shifted from one legal jurisdiction to another with more stringent regulationsD. Install redundant servers to handle corporate customer processing, encrypt all customer data to ease the transfer from one country to another, implement end-to-end encryption
between mobile applications and the cloud.

A company requires that all wireless communication be compliant with the Advanced encryption standard. The current wireless infrastructure implements WEP + TKIP. Which of the following wireless protocols should be implemented?

a company is deploying an new video conferencing system to be used by the executive team for board meetings. The security engineer has been asked to choose the strongest available asymmetric cipher to be used for encryption of board papers, and chose the strongest available stream cipher to be configured for video streaming. Which of the following ciphers should be chosen? (Select two)

A company hosts a web server that requires entropy in encryption initialization and authentication. To meet this goal, the company would like to select a block cipher mode of operation that allows an arbitrary length IV and supports authenticated encryption. Which of the following would meet these objectives?

A programmer must write a piece of code to encrypt passwords and credit card information used by an online shopping cart. The passwords must be stored using one-way encryption, while credit card information must be stored using reversible encryption. Which of the following should be used to accomplish this task? (Select TWO)

In which of the following scenarios would it be preferable to implement file level encryption instead of whole disk encryption?

A. A server environment where the primary security concern is integrity and not file recoveryB. A cloud storage environment where multiple customers use the same hardware but possess different encryption keysC. A SQL environment where multiple customers access the same databaseD. A large datacenter environment where each customer users dedicated hardware resources
